IMPORTANT!

Please Read Before Starting

This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating

standards. As the installer or service person, it is an impor-

tant part of your job to install or service the system so it oper-

ates safely and efficiently.

For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:



Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.



Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.



Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.



This product is intended for professional use.

Permission from the power supplier is required when

installing an outdoor unit that is connected to a 16 A dis-

tribution network.



Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices

given in this manual.

This symbol refers to a hazard or

unsafe practice which can result

in severe personal injury or death.

This symbol refers to a hazard or

unsafe practice which can result

in personal injury or product or

property damage.

If Necessary, Get Help

These instructions are all you need for most installation

sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for a

special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or your

certified dealer for additional instructions.

In Case of Improper Installation

The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for

improper installation or maintenance service, including fail-

ure to follow the instructions in this document.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

When Wiring

ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE

SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

ONLY A QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED

ELECTRICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT TO

WIRE THIS SYSTEM.

• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing

are completed or reconnected and checked.

• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this sys-

tem. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these

instructions when wiring. Improper connections and inad-

equate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.

• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.

• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause over-

heating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.

When Transporting

Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor

units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when lifting to

reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins

on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

When Installing…

…In a Room

Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent

“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to

walls and floors.

…In Moist or Uneven Locations

Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a

solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents

water damage and abnormal vibration.

…In an Area with High Winds

Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a

metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.

…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)

Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher

than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.

When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing

• Ventilate the room well, in the event that is refrigerant

gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow

contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will

cause the generation of poisonous gas.

• Keep all tubing runs as short as possible.

• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.

• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of

the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then

tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free con-

nection.

• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.

When Servicing

• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains)

before opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts

and wiring.

• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving

parts.

• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check

that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left

inside the unit being serviced.

• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing

the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on

contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic

gas.

• Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leak-

ing. If the gas comes in contact with a burning stove, gas

water heater, electric room heater or other heat source,

it can cause the generation of poisonous gas.

2. The standards for minimum room volume are as fol-

lows.

(1) No partition (shaded portion)

(2) When there is an effective opening with the adjacent

room for ventilation of leaking refrigerant gas (opening

without a door, or an opening 0.15% or larger than the

respective floor spaces at the top or bottom of the

door).

(3) If an indoor unit is installed in each partitioned room

and the refrigerant tubing is interconnected, the

smallest room of course becomes the object. But when

mechanical ventilation is installed interlocked with a

gas leakage detector in the smallest room where the

density limit is exceeded, the volume of the next

smallest room becomes the object.

3. The minimum indoor floor space compared with the

amount of refrigerant is roughly as follows (when the

ceiling is 8.8 ft. high):

Check of Density Limit

The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed

requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas

leaking out, its density will not exceed a set limit.

The refrigerant (R410A), which is used in the air conditioner,

is safe, without the toxicity or combustibility of ammonia,

and is not restricted by laws imposed to protect the ozone

layer. However, since it contains more than air, it poses the

risk of suffocation if its density should rise excessively.

Suffocation from leakage of refrigerant is almost non-exis-

tent. With the recent increase in the number of high density

buildings, however, the installation of multi air conditioner

systems is on the increase because of the need for effective

use of floor space, individual control, energy conservation

by curtailing heat and carrying power, etc.

Most importantly, the multi air conditioner system is able to

replenish a large amount of refrigerant compared to

conventional individual air conditioners. If a single unit of

the multi air conditioner system is to be installed in a small

room, select a suitable model and installation procedure

so that if the refrigerant accidentally leaks out, its density

does not reach the limit (and in the event of an emergency,

measures can be made before injury can occur).

In a room where the density may exceed the limit, create

an opening with adjacent rooms, or install mechanical

ventilation combined with a gas leak detection device.

The density is as given below.

<

Density limit (oz/ft.

)

The density limit of refrigerant which is used in multi air condi-

tioners is 0.3 oz/ft.

(ISO 5149).

1. If there are 2 or more refrigerating systems in a single

refrigerating device, the amount of refrigerant should be

as charged in each independent device.

For the amount of charge in this example:

The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms A, B

and C is 353 oz.

The possible amount of leaked refrigerant gas in rooms D, E

and F is 529 oz.

1-2. Prevent impurities including water, dust and oxide from entering the tubing. Impurities can cause R410A

refrigerant deterioration and compressor defects. Due to the features of the refrigerant and refrigerating

machine oil, the prevention of water and other impurities becomes more important than ever.

2. Be sure to recharge the refrigerant only in liquid form.

2-1. Since R410A is a non-azeotrope, recharging the refrigerant in gas form can lower performance and cause

defects of the unit.

2-2. Since refrigerant composition changes and performance decreases when gas leaks, collect the remaining

refrigerant and recharge the required total amount of new refrigerant after fixing the leak.

3. Different tools required

3-1. Tool specifications have been changed due to the characteristics of R410A.

Some tools for R22- and R407C-type refrigerant systems cannot be used.

Unit: in. (mm)

R407C tools

Item compatible Remarks

with R410A?

Manifold gauge Yes No Types of refrigerant, refrigerating machine oil, and

pressure gauge are different.

Charge hose Yes No To resist higher pressure, material must be changed.

Vacuum pump Yes Yes Use a conventional vacuum pump if it is equipped

with a check valve. If it has no check valve,

purchase and attach a vacuum pump adapter.

Leak detector Yes No Leak detectors for CFC and HCFC that

react to chlorine do not function because

R410A contains no chlorine. Leak detector

for HFC134a can be used for R410A.

Flaring oil Yes No For systems that use R22, apply mineral oil (Suniso oil)

to the flare nuts on the tubing to prevent refrigerant

leakage. For machines that use R407C or R410A, apply

synthetic oil (ether oil) to the flare nuts.

Precautions for Installation Using New Refrigerant

1. Care regarding tubing

1-1. Process tubing

 Material: Use C1220 phosphorous deoxidized copper specified in JIS H3300 “Copper and Copper Alloy Seamless

Pipes and Tubes.”

 Tubing size: Be sure to use the sizes indicated in the table below.

 Use a tube cutter when cutting the tubing, and be sure to remove any flash. This also applies to distribution joints

(optional).

 When bending tubing, use a bending radius that is 4 times the outer diameter of the tubing or larger.

* Using tools for R22 and R407C and new tools for R410A together can cause defects.

(with siphon tube)

Liquid refrigerant should be recharged

with the cylinder standing on end as

shown.

New refrigerant R410A cannot be used for

earlier models

1. Compressor specifications are different.

If recharging a R22 or R407C compressor with

R410A, durability will significantly decrease since

some of the materials used for compressor parts are

different.

2. Existing tubing cannot be used (especially R22).

Completely cleaning out residual refrigerating

machine oil is impossible, even by flushing.

3. Refrigerating machine oil differs (R22).

Since R22 refrigerating machine oil is mineral oil, it

does not dissolve in R410A. Therefore, refrigerating

machine oil discharged from the compressor can

cause compressor damage.

WARNING

Always check the gas density

limit for the room in which the

unit is installed.

1-10. Check of Limit Density

When installing an air conditioner in a room, it is neces-

sary to ensure that even if the refrigerant gas accidentally

leaks out, its density does not exceed the limit level for

that room.

If the density could exceed the limit level, it is necessary to

provide an opening between the unit and the adjacent

room, or to install mechanical ventilation which is inter-

locked with the leak detector.

(Total refrigerant charged amount: oz)

(Min. indoor volume where the indoor unit is installed: ft.

3

)

<

Limit density 0.3 (oz/ft.

3

)

The limit density of refrigerant which is used in this unit is

0.3 oz/ft.

3

(ISO 5149).

The shipped outdoor unit comes charged with the amount

of refrigerant fixed for each type, so add it to the amount

that is charged in the field. (For the refrigerant charge

amount at shipment, refer to the unit’s nameplate.)

1-11. Installing Distribution Joint

(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION JOINT”

enclosed with the optional distribution joint kit

(APR-P160BA).

(2) In order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in

stopped units, if the main tubing is horizontal then each

branch tubing length should be at an angle that is

greater than horizontal. If the main tubing is vertical,

provide a raised starting portion for each branch.

(3) If there are height differences between indoor units or if

branch tubing that follows a distribution joint is connect-

ed to only 1 unit, a trap or ball valve must be added to

that distribution joint. (When adding the ball valve,

locate it within 1.3 ft. of the distribution joint.)

(Consult with SANYO separately concerning the ball

valve.)

If a trap or ball valve is not added, do not operate

the system before repairs to a malfunctioning unit

are completed. (The refrigerant oil sent through the

tubing to the malfunctioning unit will accumulate

and may damage the compressor.)

Minimum indoor volume & floor area as against the

amount of refrigerant is roughly as given in the following

table.

1-13. Example of Tubing Size Selection and Refrigerant Charge Amount

Additional refrigerant charging

Based on the values in Tables 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 and 1-7, use the liquid tubing size and length, and calculate the amount

of additional refrigerant charge using the formula below.

= 0.602 × (a) + 0.279 × (b)

(a): Liquid tubing Total length of ø3/8" (ft.) (b): Liquid tubing Total length of ø1/4" (ft.)

 Charging procedure

Be sure to charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.

1. After performing a vacuum, charge with refrigerant from the liquid tubing side. At this time, all valves must be

in the “fully closed” position.

2. If it was not possible to charge the designated amount, operate the system in Cooling mode while charging

with refrigerant from the gas tubing side. (This is performed at the time of the test run. For this, all valves

must be in the “fully open” position.)

Charge with R410A refrigerant in liquid form.

With R410A refrigerant, charge while adjusting the amount being fed a little at a time in order to prevent

liquid refrigerant from backing up.

 After charging is completed, turn all valves to the “fully open” position.

 Replace the tubing covers as they were before.

Required additional

refrigerant charge (oz)

CAUTION

1. R410A additional charging absolutely must be done through liquid charging.

2. The R410A refrigerant cylinder has a gray base color, and the top part is pink.

3. The R410A refrigerant cylinder includes a siphon tube. Check that the siphon

tube is present. (This is indicated on the label at the top of the cylinder.)

4. Due to differences in the refrigerant, pressure, and refrigerant oil involved in

installation, it is not possible in some cases to use the same tools for R22 and

for R410A.

Checking of limit density

Density limit is determined on the basis of the size of a

room using an indoor unit of minimum capacity. For

instance, when an indoor unit is used in a room (floor area

80 ft

2

× ceiling height 8.8 ft. = room volume 704 ft.

3

), the

graph at right shows that the minimum room volume

should be 497 ft.

3

(floor area 56 ft.

2

) for refrigerant of 147

oz. Accordingly, openings such as louvers are required for

this room.

Overall refrigerant charge amount for the air conditioner: oz

(Minimum room volume for indoor unit: ft.

3

)

=

147 (oz) + 123 (oz)

= 0.38 (oz/ft.

3

) > 0.3 (oz/ft.

3

)

704 (ft.

3

)

Therefore, openings such as louvers are required for this

room.

 Obtain charge amount for each tubing size

Note that the charge amounts per 3.3 ft. are different for each liquid tubing size.

ø3/8" (ø9.52) → LA + LB + LC + LD : 212 ft. × 0.602 oz/ft. = 127 oz

ø1/4" (ø6.35) → 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 : 75 ft. × 0.279 oz/ft. = 20 oz

Total 147 oz

Additional refrigerant charge amount is 147 oz.

Be sure to check the limit

density for the room in which

the indoor unit is installed.

2. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION SITE

2-1. Indoor Unit

AVOID:

 areas where leakage of flammable gas may be

expected.

 places where large amounts of oil mist exist.

 direct sunlight.

 locations near heat sources which may affect the

performance of the unit.

 locations where external air may enter the room

directly. This may cause “sweating” on the air dis-

charge ports, causing them to spray or drip.

 locations where the remote controller will be splashed

with water or affected by dampness or humidity.

 installing the remote controller behind curtains or

furniture.

 locations where high-frequency emissions are

generated.

DO:

 select an appropriate position from which every

corner of the room can be uniformly cooled.

 select a location where the ceiling is strong enough

to support the weight of the unit.

 select a location where tubing and drain pipe have

the shortest run to the outdoor unit.

 allow room for operation and maintenance as well as

unrestricted air flow around the unit.

 install the unit within the maximum elevation

difference above or below the outdoor unit and within

a total tubing length (L) from the outdoor unit as

detailed in Table 1-16.

 allow room for mounting the remote controller about

3 ft. off the floor, in an area that is not in direct

sunlight nor in the flow of cool air from the indoor

unit.

Air delivery will be degraded if the distance from the

floor to the ceiling is greater than 10 ft.

2-3. Air Discharge Chamber for Top Discharge

Be sure to install an air discharge chamber (field sup-

ply) in the field when:

 it is difficult to keep a space of min. 20 in. between

the air discharge outlet and an obstacle.

 the air discharge outlet is facing a sidewalk and

discharged hot air may annoy passers-by.

Refer to Fig. 2-10.

2-4. Installing the Unit in Heavy Snow Areas

In locations with strong wind, snow-proof ducting

(field supply) should be fitted and direct exposure to

the wind should be avoided as much as possible.

 Countermeasures against snow and wind

In regions with snow and strong wind, the following

problems may occur when the outdoor unit is not pro-

vided with a platform and snow-proof ducting:

a) The outdoor fan may not run and damage to the

unit may occur.

b) There may be no air flow.

c) The tubing may freeze and burst.

d) The condenser pressure may drop because of

strong wind, and the indoor unit may freeze.

2-5. Precautions for Installation in Heavy Snow

Areas

(1) The platform should be higher than the max. snow

depth. (Fig. 2-11)

(2) The 2 anchoring feet of the outdoor unit should be

used for the platform, and the platform should be

installed beneath the air intake side of outdoor

unit.

(3) The platform foundation must be firm and the unit

must be secured with anchor bolts.

(4) In case of installation on a roof subject to strong

wind, countermeasures must be taken to prevent

the unit from being blown over.
